May It Last: A Portrait of the Avett Brothers

Director(s): Judd Apatow, Michael Bonfiglio

Genre(s): Music, Documentary

Rating: NR

Running Time: 104 min.

Over two years in the making, MAY IT LAST is an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at one of today’s most popular bands as they collaborate on their hit 2016 album “True Sadness.” Buttressed by incredible live performances, Apatow and Bonfiglio’s camera captures deeply personal and revealing moments between the band.

"May It Last isn’t just a portrait of a band, it’s a scrapbook of a family, one that’s thorough, funny, and full of larger-than-life stories that will tickle the funny bone as often as they bruise the heart. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll sing, you’ll sigh — basically, how you feel walking away from any show by The Avett Brothers."

- Michael Roffman, Consequence of Sound

"What “May It Last” does get across is how this musical partnership is able to so potently harness the power of the everyday. It’s strong proof that a film about a band can still be captivating even if it seems destined to end in a giant group hug.
